A total of 63 high school and university students took part in the sixth edition of the Liberec Ideathon competition, presenting concrete and inventive solutions for the region. The jury was most impressed by the TULgether and Linserka HUB applications. The competition took place at the 101010 Cultural Centre in Vratislavice and was organised by the Regional Development Agency, CzechInvest and the Liberec Region.

What if it really works out? What if the ideas and visions that may sound almost improbable today become reality within just a few years?

The event will offer inspiration and remind audiences that behind every great achievement, there is ultimately a courageous person willing to do something for others.

The event concluded with financial awards being presented to the successful participants.
